The Board Clerk told me that when email goes to that address which is
relevant to an upcoming hearing or vote an an issue, they forward it to
the Board.<br>
<br>
If you have had mail rejected. you might want to do a sunshine request
to see if the Clerk is properly forwarding all legitimate emails.<br>
<br>
The reality is, it is -much- more likely that an email recipient will
click on one address than if they have to decide between eleven of
them, so we'll get a lot more comments to all of the Supes.<br>

<p>Are you sure you've got the correct email address for the BOS in
this email. I've sent an email to that address twice and it hasn't
been delivered. Also, it would have been helpful to list the email
addresses of each supervisor. I'm in Japan and don't have them.</p>

Subject: [Sustain] Email Supes To Stop Starbucks Displacing
Neighborhood Cafes! <br>
<br>
<p> Hi all,<br>
</p>
<p> In 2004, and 2006 we passed strong protections that allow San
Francisco residents and small local businesses to say 'NO' to chain
stores when they don't want them in their neighborhoods.<br>
</p>
<p> But recently the Planning Commission ignored the pleas of such
residents and small businesses (many of them locally owned coffee
shops), and outrageously approved the construction of a Starbucks in
the neighborhood near 4th Ave. and Geary Blvd. San Francisco residents
and small business owners are mobilizing in opposition to this new
Starbucks, which is unwanted, will ruin the neighborhood's character,
and will harm those local businesses. Take action today to support
residents' efforts to preserve neighborhood character and protect local
cafes! (See <b>Email Action </b>below.)<br>
</p>
This Tuesday, September 11, at 4:30 p.m. in San Francisco City Hall (Rm
250), the Board of Supervisors will decide whether or not to allow the
Starbucks to be built. Let the Supervisors know that you are opposed to
the corporatization of San Francisco's local retail neighborhoods by
sending an email opposing the Starbucks.<br>
<b><br>
Email Action: Copy the sample letter below, then add a few words of
your own with your name and address, and email the message to the Board
of Supervisors today at:</b><br>

SAMPLE LETTER<br>
<br>
Dear Supervisor,<br>
<br>
Please help stop the corporatization of San Francisco by rejecting the
Starbucks project at 4th Ave. and Geary Blvd. Far too many residents of
that neighborhood are opposed, and would be harmed by a new chain store
in their area.<br>
<br>
Thank You,<br>
<br>
[your name and address here]<br>
<br>
END OF SAMPLE LETTER<br>
